The ro.ids forming piirts of trunk lines from the Atlantic Coast westward. Tho earnings of the Pacific roads are well maintained, but they would do a good business if only up to that of last year. The Union Pacific reports for the first three weeks in March un increase of $:J0,000 over the same weeks in 1875. The "granger" roads expect to be benefitted materially by tho advance in rates which took place on their lines in Wisconsin, early in tho present month. The gain from this advance is variously estimated, and may perhaps be placed at an average of 13 to lo per cent on local business within that State, a good part of whicli ought to be not profit. Tho third class named above embraces all the other roads except those mentioned just below, and their businews depends mainly on the prosjierity of the country and the maintenance of fair rates among competing roads. In the fourth class only three roads can properly bo placed these are tho Michigan Central, Canada Southern and Ohio & Mississippi. Their earnings depend largely upon the maintenance of rates among the rival trqnk lines, and so far this year they have been favored by harmony. The opening rates on Lake freights are very low, being 4i cents per bushel on wheat from Chicago to Baffalo, and eastward bound freights have just been reduced as followj, on the " pool" railroad lines from Chicago, viz: liates on grain to New York to 35 cents, on flour to 70 cents per barrel, and on fourth class freight to 40 cents— a reduction of 5 — The cents per cwt. rates to other Eastern points are correspond- ingly reduced. But it is to be remarked that this class of business is one that the railroads do not look to for profit in summer The Baltimore & Ohio does not publish its earning.^ regularly, but a statement is made that in February there was an increase of $228,871 over the same month of 1875. The Houston & Texas Central shows the following, for six months ending February: Oross earnings 1874-75, $1,047,008; 1875-70, $3,080,080; erpenses, $941,003, against $971,133; net earnings, |708,003. against $1,108,833 in 1875-70.

The impression is very general that even the present very moderate charges for accommodation cannot be maintained, as neither commercial nor financial enterprise is calculated to absorb our supplies of unemployed money. There is just now scarcely any demand for gold for export. On the contrary, during the last few days, the accumulation at the Bank has been considerable, and there appear to be indications that the supply held will be further augmented. The number of commercial bills In circulation is very moderate, and as trade remains eitremely quiet, there is no prospect of any increase. The spring trade is remarkably inactive. The heavy losses which the public have sustained, are producing great, if not increasing, economies. and it will, no doubt, be long before the position of affairs has been completely rectified. A few failures continue to take place, but there appear to be no serious apprehensions, while there ij reason to believe that the more judicious system of trading will eventually establish our commerce upon a sound basis.

California Railroad Law.— The California State Senate finally passed the bill known as the O'Connor bill, which provides for a board of three railroad commissioners to have general supervisory and advisory powers, to collect, statistics, and report annually. The bill also contains provisions against discrimination, and fixes as the maximum rates allowed to be charged the rates in force January 1, 1876. The bill finally passed the Assembly without change, and went to the Governor for his signature. Osagre Ceded Lands.— The United States Supreme Court baBJ affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court in these cases, and the rights of the settlers on these lands are now fully confirmed, to the exclusion of the Missouri Kansas & Texas and the Leavenworth Lawrence & (Jalveston companies, which claimed the lands as part of their grants. Pacific Mail and Panama.— The Sheriff of San Francisco refused to attach any more of tlie Pacifij Mail steamers unless the Panama Railroad Company would furnish him with additional bonds for §000,000, in consequence of the attitude of the trustees of the $2,000,000 mortgage oi the Pacific Mail Company, who claim that the vessels are subject to their control. Suit has been brought in San Francisco by the Panama Railroad Comnany against the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to recover $338,049 due for transportation across the Isthmus. Western Union Telegraph. -The New York Superior Court has granted a temporary injunction, restraining the Western Union Telegraph Company, George B. Prescott, and others, from prosFcuting or withdrawing the applications tor the duplex and quadruples patents, and from receiving letters patent for the same, pending adjudication of the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Company thereto. Tbo following — is from the serai-annual statement of the Equitable Trust Company, March 1, 1870, whose business in guiranteeing real estate mortgages we have frequently noticed. It appears from ihi-" that the companv up to March 1, 1876, had taken $0,530,000 of mortgages, of which it had sold with its own guaranty $5,663,000, and had on hand $865,000. Tlie company is managed very conservatively, and any explanation desired of the details of its statement will be cheerfully furnished at the office, 53 William street. ASSETS.

Tbe money market and Financial Situation.— A week culminates today —Good Fridny — with 6a, lesi 6s, 1881 M. dull 68, a pretty general fis, cessation of business. A further decline in speculative stocks here, atid the cable despatches indicating a depressed feeling in the markets of London and Continental cities, have been the principal features worthy of mention. statement of bu.siness failures for the first quarter of 187G, just issued by the Mercantile Agency of Dun, IJarlow & Co., shows that the number and amount was considerably larger than in the corresponding quarter of 1875, but a little below the quarter immediately preceding, which embraced the last three months of 1875. It is hoped from this that the tendency is toward a gradual improvement, and that the maximum of failures was reached in the last part of last year. The Silver bill, which has passed both houses of Congress, received the President's signature, and becomes a law, is as follows Be II tn(ictfil, <{;. That there be and hereby is appropriated out of any A : money in the Treasury, not otherwi.-je appropriated, the sum of SHi'.OJO. t.i provide for engraving and printiii'; and otiier expenses of makins and issniji>; United States notes, and the further sum of $i8,no to provide for ensravin;; and priutlnf; National bank notes, to be disbursed under the Secretary of the Treasury. Section 2. That the Secretary of tlie Treasury is hereby directed to issue silver coins of the United Sta es of the deiiomination of In, 8 85 and 5!) cents of standard value, in redenipUou of an equal amount of fractional currency, whether the same be now in the Treasury awaitin" redemption or wherever it may be presented for redemption; and the b'eci'otary of the Treasury mav, noder regalations of the Treasury Department, rovide for such redemption and issne by substitution at the regular sub-treasuries and public depositaries of the United States uniil the whole amount of fractional currency outst.indinj^ ehall be rcdeemerl, and the fractional currency redeemed under tho act shall be held to be part of the Sinkint; Fund p ovided for by the e.\isting law. the interest to be computed thereon as in tho case of bonds redeemed under the acts relating lo the Sinking Fund. Our local money market has been a little irregular and feverish i, i in consequence of the decline in stocks and the unfavorable tone of foreign advices, but rates have not actually changed much, and the quotations for call loans are SRo per cent., and prime commercial paper 5(20 per cent. The Bank of England report on Thursday showed a decrease in bullion of £4,500, and tho discount rate remained unchanged at 3 per cent. The Bank of Prance gained 2,5S3,000 francs in statement New York City Clearing House banks, Lssued April 8, showed a decrease of .$2,90IJ,4J0 in the excess above their 35 per cent, lejral reserve, the whole of such excess being $7 038,875, against §0,909,335 the previous week.

Belmont and Mr. Lawrence Turnure having resigned their positions as President and VicePresident. Mr. W. H. Hays was elected President, and Mr. Henry Morgan, Vice-President. By report of the Manager of the Boston Clearing House, it appears that the exchanges for the past year have been $3,447,279.420. The balances for the same time have been $335,300,055. The average monthly exchanges have been $304,100,019. The average monthly balances have been $27,100,838. The aggregate capital of the associated banks in that city is §51,350,000. As the Fourth of July falls on Tuesday, the Stock Exchange has resolved that when the Board adjourns on Saturday, July 1, it will hold no Bession until the following Wednesday, July 5. Vnltea Slates Bonds. In government bonds the week shows a very moderate business, but with prices fairly maintained. The apprehension of trouble in the London and Uernian markets, together with the fact that Good Friday is a blank day hero, and both Friday and Easter Monday in London, have been among the principal reasons for a slow business just at the of the State of — present time. If the experience of previous years furnishes a precedent that may be taken as a guide at all, we may look for more activity in all classes of stocks and bands after Easter. Closing prices of securities in London have been as follows: Mch. April April itange since Jan. 1, '76. 31. 1. 13. Lowest. Hlgheet. I — — I V. U. U. S. 6s, 6-20S, '861, old. S. 6s, 5-308. 18B7 . . S. 5e. 10-JCs New 58 •is, lis, .';s, .^s, 6s, .3 State and Railroad Bonds.— There has been very little doing in State bonds. The last pales of Tennessees at the Board were $35,000 old bonds at 43, and $5,001J new series at 41, showing prices about the same as those of last week. Tho trustees of the Cincinnati Southern Railway have awarded $3,000,000 of the City per cent. 30 year gold bonds to a banking firm there and at 100.13 accrijod interest. Railroad bonds, on a slow business, have shown a tendency toward lower prices, in sympathy with stocks. It is observed that the speculative business in bonds, which is often largo and marked by the sales of round lots of §10,000 and upwards at the Board, has recently been quite limited. It is still difficult to find really first-class 7 per cent, bonds below pur, and where prices have yielded at all it is generally on the less substantial securities, which hold a position among bonds analagous to the " fancies" on tho speculative list of stocks.

In connection with the bear influence exerted in the market, the reports of a disagreement at the meeting of railroad managers in Chicago, had much to do with the weakness in Lake Shore and Michigan Central, which were especially conspicuous. As to the facts of the railroad negotiations at Cliicago over freight and pa.ssenger rates, it is known that a moderate reduction on grain and flour was made a few days ago, as usual about the time Lake navigation opens, but no break has yet taken place between the managers of the " pool " lines, although the telegrams indicate that Mr. Joy of the Michigan Central is dissatisfied. Apainst the Western Union Telegraph were urged the recent reduction of the A. & P. Hue on night messages, and the temporary injunction again.st the company's use of the duplex and quadruplcx system until the right to it is settled. Pacific Mail declines in the absence of any hopelul development respecting the company's affairs, though there are undoubtedly many . X . : , 3'/0 JFHE who CHRONICLE suspsct that the stock will presently be picked up bj some party possibly "the leading: operator" and bulled again. The report of the Dundee committee on Erie affairs has been made in England, and they favor the funding of coupons and a foreclosure on the Watkin plan. The stock sold down here to 16^. Aside from the market influences, and the continued depression in mercantile business, including the coal trade and mining, there seems to bf- nothing to cause a large decline in values. Kailroad earnings, as fully reported on another page, are, upon the whole, quite satisfactory; the express companies claim a larger business than usual; while telegraphing is not likely to decline, nor the receipts of Western Union to be largely diminished. Tlie granger stocks are also expected to reap the benefit of the higher rates in Wisconsin, ivhich went into effect about the first of this month. The market, at present prices, offers inducements for clique purchases to start an upward movement, though no evidences of such a purpose have yet come to our notice.

Dec. 31, 1875.) report of tlie Receiver, Mr. J. H. Devereui, la an elaborate document giving the operations from 10th December, 1874, to 3l8t December, 1875, from which we obtain the following: la brieflj commenting upon the financial results of this period, it is remarked that the low rates on freight, and the miners' strike in the Mahoning Valley, were causes for small receipts. Prom December 10, 1874, to June 3«, 1875, the Cleveland & Mahoning Valley road showed an actual loss in operation of $12,807 38. But, the miners resuming work during the latter part of June, the result of the following month (July) upon the Mahoning Division was a surplus earning over and above all expenses and rental, of |43,878 92. During 1874 the rate upon local freight traffic was 1.636 cents per ton per mile, and upon through Ireight but .837 cents per ton per mile. And yet. mainly from the efFects of a disastrous trunk line rivalry, the rate for 1875 upon through freight is seen to be .694 cents per ton per mile, and the average rate of all freight has fallen to 1'015 cents per ton per mile. If but the exceedingly low freight rates of 1874 had prevailed, the net earnings would have been increased by $615,132 39. It would seem fair, therefore, to regard the net revenue of the year's operations as exceptional, whilst in the thorough and faithlol maintenance of the road, its equipment and appurtenancee, jiidicious care has been given, and no needed expenditure has been withheld. The largest portion of the equipment used on the lines is under lease, paying a rental equivalent to 15 per cent of the value of such cars and locomotive engines at their cost of some years ajro, (much higher than the current value of to-day), and with such equipment maintained to standard at the expense of the lessee.

The amount involved in the pending suit is over $95,000, includingaccrued interest, and in all the cases the amount, with interest, aggregates over $800,000. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad directors, on April 12, resolved to give up the Valley road from Harrisburg to Staunton, rather than retain it on the terms demanded by the Valley Railroad Company.

Indianapolis Bloomlngton & Western.— Receiver Wright has made a report for the three months ending March 1. In that time improvements were made at a cost of $37,01*8 03. Mr Wright says " We have had scarcely one week of steady cold weather and frozen ground, so open and mild has been the season. It is believed that not one-fifth of the crops of the last season have yet been moved. Notwithstanding this, the inci"ease of earninf^ for the three months over the corresponding period of 1875 was $83,730 73. Hiid the weather been cold and the country roads S'->lid, the increase would undoubtedly have been more than double this. The amount disbursed on back pay-rolls, up to the first of March, was $24,319 60. Since that time the weather has been so unf«vorable for business that the receiver has not been able to continue the payment of a monthly dividend as was expected.

THE CHRONICLE 378 The market this week has been quiet for cotton on the spot, and quotations have been reduced Jc. as compared with last Friday, namely, l-16c. on Monday and l-16c. on Tuesday. An advance in exchange, and slightly easier ocean freights, have enabled shippers to do a little business at this decline, but the close yesterday was without demand, except from home spinners who, in anticipation of a holiday, purchased rather more freely. Today, being Good Friday, the Cotton Exchange is closed. For future delivery prices show a decline of unusual severity. The annoanceaient that the waters of the Mississippi had begun to recede at Cairo, was regarded as putting an end to all dangers of a disastrous flood, and there was a steady decline for the first three days. On Wednesday some reaction at Liverpool was reported, with an advance for " arrivals;" the Mississippi was reported above the danger line between Vicksburg and Memphis gold was higher; and there was the natural demand to cover ; The [Ap Visible Sdpplt of Cotton, as made up by cable and telegraph, is The as follows. continental stocks are the figures of last Saturday, but the totals for Great Britain and the afloat week's returns, and consequently brought down to Thurnday f vening; hence, to make the totals the complete figures for to night (Apr. 14). we add the item of exports from the United States, including in it the exports of Friday for the Continent are this only 1874. 1873. 9J6,000 871.000 800.000 694,000 6).750 ;0i.5M lOli.o.O 173.0? !)8;,T;0 976,5'i0 177.030 158,2.50 2,9C2,907 2,852,564 1875. 1876.

Retail buyers have been cautious in their operations, taking smaller amounts than would probably have been the case with a steadier market for leading domestic productions. Au important circular has been issued by a number of prominent commission houses, representing many of the principal New England manufacturing corporations, in which jobbers are politely requested to abandon the system of sending giving quotations for leading makes of less than their real market value system which has been fraught with mischief to the entire trade. Very large quantities of foreign goods were pressed to sale through the auction rooms, where they met with ready sale at >ow prices. The death of Mr. A. T. Stewart created a profound out postal cards, etc., cotton poods, at etc., — much sensation in the trade, and on the day of his funeral business suspended during the obsequies. Domestic Cotton Goods. The export trade in cotton presents a steady improvement, and 1,580 packages shipped in course of the week to different countries, Britain taking 1,095 packages, British Honduras 244 — was goods were Great pack- and various other markets the lemainder. The home demand was sluggish apart from the most popular makes of four-yard brown slieetings and fine bleached •birtinga, which were placed in considerable amounts by agests »nd jobbers. Colored cottons moved slowly especially cotton »des, which were very dull and Conestogo tickings were ubjscted to a reduction of about |c., aside from which quotations were fairly maintained. Corset jeans were in steady demand, and there was rather more animation in quilts, piques, etc. Soiled jacconets and glazed cambrics changed hands in moderate tots, and were steady in price. Grain bags, carpet warps and twines were a trifle more active in jobbers' hands. Print cloths were quiet, although some lots were bought by speculators at 31c. easb and 3J, 60 days' for standard 64s., at which prices the market closed. The print market continued in an unsettled and unsatisfactory condition, and further standard makes were leduced, viz. Merrimack D fancies to 6, Arnold's and Hartel's fancies to 6J, and Mallory pinks, etc., to 6^. Jobbers continued to •ffer job lots of fancy and shirting standard prints of certain *tyles at 54@5i, and made very heavy sales at these figures. Cotton dress goods were dull and weak, and ginghams wers ages, .. Brazil 135 packages, — — — lightly dealt in. DoMBSTic WoOLBN GOODS.— The package trade in men's wear woolens has been very quiet, and some failures occurred among doth jobbers in this city and at Boston. The jobbing trade has keen a little more active, but by no means up to expectations. Cloths continued dull and doeskins were only taken in small Cassimeres, suitings and trouserings moved slowly from lots. Irst hands, and selections were mainly restricted to moderate parcels of the newest and most desirable styles. Worsted . . , . . THE CHRONICLR 382 Onlakes and ... : [April 15, 1876. coatings were quiet, and low grades showed symptoms of weakness. Overcoatings were delivered in fair amounts in execution but few new transactions occurred. Low grade Ken> tucky jeans were in moderate request, but fine qualities ruled quiet. Satinets were in limited demand, with most relative of orders, low grades for printing and fine mixtures. Flannels were rather more active, but selections were confined to small Carpets lots of white and scarlet all-wool makes and domets. were distributed in considerable parcels by J9bbers at low prices. Plain plaid and self colored fancy dress goods were in better demand, and prices are firmly maintained. Worsted shawls moved slowly, and there was some pressure on the part of agents to sell at a concession from former holding rates. Foreign Dry Good-S. There was a sluggish movement in imported goods from first hands, and values have barely i>een maintained, because importers are obliged to meet the low rates which activity in — have been establislied in the auction rooms. The auction sales of week were large and important. Messrs. Richard, Iselin & Co. sold through Field, Morris, Fenner & Co. a line of silks and dress goods which amounted to $325,000, and a very large sale cf the same class of fabrics was made for Messrs. A. Person, Harriman & Co. by Townsead, Montant & Co. Staple dress goods especially fancies sold realized fair auction prices, but silks very low. Housekeeping, shirting and dress linens were in steady demand, and there was a more active movement in plain and fancy white goods. Embroideries were sold publicly and at pri' Woolen gnods for vate sale in large amounts at low prices. men's wear remained very quiet in first hands, and prices aie unsatisfactory to importers. Ribbons and millinery silks were in steady but moderate demand. We annex prices ot a few articles of domestic manufacture the — — Prints.
